Antonee Robinson has continued to develop into one of the more consistent left backs in the English Premier League and despite growing interest from many of the league’s giants, the veteran fullback is focused on what’s in front of him.
Robinson recently concluded his third Premier League campaign with Fulham, logging six assists in 37 league appearances. The 26-year-old has now totaled over 150 appearances for the Cottagers, which also featured one season in the EFL Championship.
Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea have all been linked with Robinson over the past two seasons despite him signing a long-term contract extension last summer, which will take him through the 2027-28 season.
Robinson now heads into U.S. men’s national team duty before the 2024 Copa America competition, and although the growing interest from top-six clubs is there, the USMNT’s No. 1 left back is happy with his current situation.
“I want to keep on developing. I’m very settled here, I love the club. It wasn’t a difficult decision to sign,” said Robinson in an interview with The Athletic. “I signed the deal because I was very happy at Fulham. Interest from other [teams] is great. Obviously it comes down to, if someone wanted me enough to pay what Fulham would want, and if Fulham saw that as a good idea, then I’d leave.
“But until that happens, and I have no idea if it would, I’m just looking forward to the Copa [América] and then starting next year with Fulham, pushing on, and trying to help the team get to even better finishing spots,” Robinson added.
After a 10th place finish during the 2022-23 campaign, Fulham took a minor step back this season, finishing in 13th overall. Marco Silva’s men ended the season with a 4-2 road win over Luton Town and will be eager to begin the new campaign on a high note next August.
